Mines R35 GTR
Didn't take long for Mines to get ahold of an R35, and here's the Tsukuba times, 6 sec slower than the R34 Mines, basically stock. .5 sec faster than a gallardo though.
Famous Japanese tuner Mines has taken to the Tsukuba circuit for a time attack in their brand new Nissan R35 GTR, managing a time of 1m 3.1s around the track. This places it in front of the Lamborghini Gallardo, which manages a 1m 3.6s time around the same track.
This car has a reputation to live up to as the old Mines prepped R34 GT-R model achieved a 57.7s time around the circuit. But we’re sure that this car has great potential. Apparently the car was run with the VDC in the R setting instead of turned off and the car’s traction control was affecting its performance on the day.
According to a poster on NAGTROC, the final version of the Mines prepped car will feature an upgraded ECU, high-flow air filter and exhaust, an adjustable suspension package with Mines’ Eibach spring kit, uprated brake rotors and pads, a new air scoop, carbon-aero mirrors, high-capacity fuel injectors and carbon canards on the front spoiler.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on any estimated power figures or if the turbochargers will get an upgrade. One thing’s certain, we can expect to see more boost!

FWIW: The Mine's R34 is far from stock. Car is insane but is under the disguise of being stock. Runs HKS 2530 turbos which can flow about 320hp each.
Good baseline anyway, the EVO X and STi are in the 1:05s stock.

Yeah, just imagine what they'll be able to run with the R35, once it's on a diet, and up to Mines standards like their R34.
